Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have reviewed forecasts that reflect plausible downside scenarios because of the ongoing global economic uncertainty. These demonstrate the Group is forecast to generate profits and cash in the year ending 31 March 2025 and beyond and that the Group has sufficient cash reserves to enable it to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. As such, the directors are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing these financial statements.”

Significant events
- “The Group undertook a deliberate refocusing on its most profitable and long-term growth sectors. As part of this realignment, we exited non-strategic clients and service lines, resulting in a more streamlined and focused business model.”
- “The Group was well-positioned in 2025 to capitalise on the growing adoption of AI-led automation across production and creative activities. The offshoring of non-core operations further enhanced operational efficiency and scalability.”
- “The business maintained a profitable position throughout this re-engineering programme and delivered an 15% increase in revenue for the year. Cash flow remained robust, culminating in a year-end cash balance of £7.1m.”
